Yuasa HJ-S65D26L-B should be a direct fit to the original Panasonic I believe. Both regarding size and vent.

I think this it’s the arm that controls the recirculation function. Mine was broken as well because someone forced the recirculation door open when changing the air filter. It must always be in recirculating mode when changing filter. With what broken off I don’t think it can recirculate the air anymore - it will always take new air inside. Kim

How could we be sure that it was caused by insufficient cooling and not something else? Maybe a malfunction of the inverter. I read that member Lwerewolf also replaced the inverter, but as far as I understood, it was caused by transmission fluid level being too low (https://priuschat.com/threads/inverter-blew-up-and-car-wont-start-no-ready-2007-gs450h.197632/)

I've used it a couple of times, but haven't tested the hybrid battery health yet. But I did notice something interresting (worrying?) When I brake the battery voltage easely increases to 380V (max). And if I do a hard acceleration, the voltage will drop well below 288V (250V if I remember correctly). The Dr. Prius app display the voltages in red if this happens - I think it believes that something is wrong. I'm not sure that it is right, because I got a brand new battery fitted from Lexus last year (May). I think that it's just the characteristics of the larger battery compared to fx. the Prius. Can anybody comment on this? Thx, Kim
